Jesus, may You receive the honor that You’re due
O Lord, I bring an offering to You

There is no shadow in Your presence
No mortal man would dare to stand before Your throne
before the Holy One of Heaven

and it’s only through Your mercy Lord, I come

No one on earth deserves the praises that I sing

Communion | There Will Be Bread

There was a gathering of thousands
but no food to satisfy them
when a child was brought before the Lord
with only loaves and fishes

Though the gift appeared too little
the Lord increased it by a thousand
as the off’ring filled___the masses with___
the love of God among them

There will be bread for all who hunger
There will be drink for all who thirst
When we go forth and give as we’ve received
our God is come to earth

For we are bread and drink and blessing
we are hope for all the world
When we share the love that we’ve been fed
there will be bread

We hear the empty cries of millions
with no food to satisfy them
And we ask what we alone can do
We feel so very helpless

Though our gifts appear too little
We must have faith He will increase them
For the God of loaves and fishes is
the Lord of earth and Heaven

There will be bread for all who hunger
There will be drink for all who thirst
When we go forth and give as we’ve received
our God is come to earth

For we are bread and drink and blessing
we are hope for all the world
When we share the love that we’ve been fed
there will be bread

When we share the love that we’ve been fed
there will be bread
